TONI POV:

Veronica and I didn't get a divorce we are still together I'm just staying in Riverdale until I figure my life out. I look at a picture of my mom. I never sold the house after she died. Only because I stay here when I come here. I look at the picture and hold back tears. There's a knock on the door. I go get it and it's Betty. "Hey." I whisper. "Veronica told me you would be here. She asked me to check on you." She hands me Pops. "Thank you." I whisper. "Come in." I let her in. We sit down and talk. "Whenever my life starts to get better I ruin it." I whisper drinking my beer. "I was captain of the football team, Cheryl died. I join the army I have my life a head of me, my mom dies. I finally settle down and have a family, I get a divorce. I can't do anything right." I look up at her. We talk for a bit longer. "You should stay with her. I had something special with her and ruined it. Don't ruin it. Even if you don't love her anymore, be there for the kids." She tells me before walking out. I take a deep breath. I go upstairs and pack my stuff, I look at Cheryl's hold stuff and go to the car. I get in and drive. I walk to the house and knock on the door. Veronica opens the door. "Honestly, I'm not in love with you. But I want to be there for you and the kids." I tell her. She steps closer. "I know I'm never going to be Cheryl. But you need to trust me. Ok?" I nod. "I'm sorry." I whisper. "We're doing this for the kids." She whispers. "For the kids." I nod.
